Engine breakdown... pt10

So time to have a look at the main bearing and big end shells. These will be replaced as sitting in old oil the 24 years will not have been good.

The block and crank have no signs of damage other than some discolouring which should clean up when I have it out.

The shells have sign of wear and discolouring due to oil again. The wear is not too bad on the couple I've removed so far - at the end of the day shell wear is preferred to the crank or block being damaged.

A new sets of shells will be fitted on the rebuild - I do need the check the sizes as this block and crank was a exchange units and would have been both reground.
